Ronald Blythe is considered one of the greatest writers on the English countryside. He is best known for Akenfield, his powerful and poetic account of life in a Suffolk farming community. Drawing on unparalleled access to letters, notebooks, published works, drafts, and conversations from decades of friendship, Ian Collins tells the full story of Ronald Blythe for the first time.
